WEEKEND IMPACTS:

Southbound Red Line Trains to Bypass Jarvis through Loyola this Weekend

Due to crews performing track work as part of the Purple Express Track Improvement Project, southbound (to 95th/Dan Ryan) Red Line trains will bypass the Jarvis, Morse and Loyola stations this weekend beginning 10 p.m. Friday, October 23 until 4 a.m. Monday, October 26.

The stations will remain open at this time. Customers who want to travel southbound (to 95th/Dan Ryan) from the Jarvis, Morse or Loyola stations need to travel north to Howard and transfer to a southbound (to 95th/Dan Ryan) train.

Southbound (to 95th/Dan Ryan) customers who want to exit at the Jarvis, Morse or Loyola stations will need to travel to Granville and transfer to a northbound (to Howard) train.

Temporary Weekend Suspension of Green/Pink Line Service Over Lake Street Bridge

On Saturday, beginning with the start of service (approx. 5 a.m.) until Monday morning at
4 a.m., Green and Pink line service between the Clinton and Clark/Lake stations will be temporarily suspended due to maintenance work on the Lake Street Bridge by the Chicago Department of Transportation.

During this time, CTA will provide a free bus shuttle service that will supplement Green and Pink line service between the Clinton and Clark/Lake stations. Harlem/Lake-bound customers at Clark/Lake can board the free bus shuttle from the southeast corner of LaSalle/Lake. Loop-bound customers at Clinton can board the free bus shuttle on the west side of Clinton Street south of Lake Street.

Green Line Service: Green Line trains will continue to operate in both directions, but in two sections: between Harlem/Lake and Clinton, and also between Ashland/63rd-Cottage Grove and the Loop. In the Loop, Green Line trains will follow Orange Line trains clockwise, first stopping at Harold Washington Library before continuing on to Ashland/63rd and Cottage Grove.

Pink Line Service: Pink Line trains will also continue to operate in both directions between 54th/Cermak and Clinton; however, there will be no Pink Line service in the Loop during the temporary line cut.

Service in the Loop: a shuttle train will be operating counterclockwise around the Loop, making all stops.

Regular Green and Pink line service will resume at approximately 4 a.m. Monday morning. For more information visit, transitchicago.com/alerts.
